Still no wind here in Sylt. This is a podcast from yestardays wave action. A new podcast from today with an interview with Marcilio Browne is coming tonight.

Yesterday after a long drive finally I arrived to Sylt. Straight from my car I had to go on the water because I arrived literally 3 minutes before my heat. In the first heat I was against Quincy Offriga. Unfortunately I was late for that heat and the wind died and I was on my borrowed 4.8. I was on time for the second heat but the organizers saw that I don’t have any stickers so I had to put them on and again I was a little bit late for the heat.
Hope you will enjoy it.

On the day when we were traveling we’ve met three guys on the airport in Warsaw and the rest supposed to come straight to Dahab. The journey was without any problems and all of the stuff arrived untouched. We arrived in Dahab around 5 p.m so it was already too late for windsurfing. We stayed in Novotel Coralia Club Hotel.
Next days were a normal teaching days with photo shoot. In total we had five good days of sailing but we tried to be on the water every day even just for the light wind sessions. Although the wind wasn’t good all of the participants were happy and made quite a big progress only in those few days sailing.
We tried to do whatever we could to show the potential of freestyle clinics and I’m glad we managed to do so. If we would have a little bit more wind I’m sure all of the boys would learn a lot more. Anyway I’m satisfied about the trip and the group which I had for my first freestyle clinic. On the days we had no wind at all I was doing simulator session and video coaching from the day before.
“Show off 2008” for sure would be more attractive if we had better conditions but I still think it was a big success and a big step forward into a professional freestyle teaching in future. I would like to thank to all of the participants, Club Dahab stuff, Funsurf Travel, my sponsor and clinic sponsors. At this moment we are gathering all the footage. The DVD production is starting right now and it will be available with a movie and all the reports in the end of the month.
In the meantime in Dahab I came up with a new idea of a freestyle clinic in Brazil around middle of December. As soon I will know more details I will post them on my website so please visit www.pol288.com for more info’s. The reports from every single day are also available on my website.

We are leaving back to Poland at 4 o’clock in the morning so probably I will arrive in Krakow around noon. The final report and photos will come online in few days.
The day before we leave started not very well. There was no wind in the morning and it didn’t change later so we didn’t have a chance to go on the water. Tomorrow we have our last day so let’s hope we can finish the trip with a positive sailing session. We will see…
